ALMANAC 50
Ripples at sluice gate.
Moments course residue.
Barges loiter in sparkles.
Crack – promontory jitters.
Gashed-black scalp refluxes
Distressing you to a whimper.

ALMANAC 51
October leaves jostle in sedge.
Unleashed greyhound bolts.
Kittiwakes plunge aloof.
Morose sea fidgets.
The nerveless cliff
Will not ground your load.

PROPAGANDA 39
Mortified spectators on iron bridge. Flat rat-a-tats. Lurid whistles hurtled. Craters defeated paths. Glass unhinged.
spectators
Flat whistles paths Glass
Spectators intoxicated. Flat ums and ahs. Nightfall whistles, melodious. Vanishing ragged paths. Air-nips turned glass.
